Former Navajo Nation President, Democrat running for Congress to flip Arizona's 2nd blue
Pinned
My name is Jonathan Nez. I’m the former President of the Navajo Nation.

Today, I am running for Congress to defeat MAGA Republican Eli Crane, flip Arizona’s 2nd blue, and take back the house.

Let’s win this.
I'm glad to see that Congresswoman Grijalva has officially been sworn into office. It took too long, and today is a long time coming. I look forward to working with the Congresswoman to support Arizonans across our state.

Today we honor all who served.

Your courage, sacrifice, and steady resolve shaped the freedoms we carry forward today.

We’re grateful for every veteran who stood up, showed up, and carried the weight of duty so the rest of us could live in the light of their service.

We were in Tuba City over the weekend supporting the Best Friends Animal Society during their animal care event. A great turnout and a wonderful reminder that our pets are our best friends! 🐶🐱 #BestFriendsAnimalSociety #TubaCity #AnimalCare

It was an honor to speak with 4th graders at Kinsey Inquiry and Discovery School about the importance of water and the need to ensure access for tribal communities and rural Arizona for generations to come. Thank you for having me! 💧🌎 #WaterIsLife #Arizona #Education

Affordable Care Act premiums are set to rise on average 114% for Americans across our nation, with some premiums rising 175%. Unacceptable is an understatement. Eli Crane won't protect your healthcare. I will. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/31/a...
Millions face 'huge sticker shock' when ACA open enrollment starts Nov. 1
Millions of households logging on to enroll in a health plan via the Affordable Care Act marketplace will see much higher premiums.

Thousands of rural Arizonans rely on SNAP benefits. More than half of the families in Apache and Gila get assistance. We cannot afford to allow funding to lapse. Our leaders in D.C. must do more to protect our communities. www.abc15.com/news/state/w...
Who receives SNAP in Arizona? Breaking down the numbers

I grew up in rural Arizona, on my family ranch with no running water or electricity.

My wife and I call this community home.

We deserve a representative who shows up, listens, and fights for us, not for DC party bosses.

Eli Crane and House Republicans have worked just 20 days in the past four months. Meanwhile, thousands of Arizona families will soon be without SNAP and food assistance. We need leaders who will put partisanship aside and protect our people, and we need it now.
October 28, 2025 at 2:28 PM
Arizonans deserve better than this. In just five days they will lose SNAP access. We cannot let this happen. Congress must reopen the government now. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

My name is Jonathan Nez. I’m the former President of the Navajo Nation.

I have fought for rural Arizona my entire life. It is long past time we had someone fight for us in Washington.

We are nearing a point where Arizona families will lose access to SNAP and WIC benefits because of the government shutdown. This is wrong and cannot happen. We must protect the most vulnerable in society. www.azfamily.com/2025/10/07/s...
SNAP, WIC programs in Arizona at risk as government shutdown continues
The shutdown, which began on Wednesday, coincided with the start of a new fiscal year, meaning programs like WIC, which rely on annual infusions from the federal government, are nearly out of funds.

I was raised herding sheep on the Navajo Nation—without electricity or running water. I’m not in this for status. I’m in this to fight for the families Washington forgets.
October 22, 2025 at 5:03 PM
My campaign is about representing every resident—Democrat, Republican, or Independent. Because the people of Arizona’s 2nd deserve a representative who will fight for them, not divide them.

What a day at the Western Navajo Parade! We are fired up and ready to take back Arizona's 2nd Congressional District. Let's win this, together.

I was born in Arizona’s 2nd, went to school in this district, and have spent my life working to strengthen our communities. Now I’m running for Congress to ensure every resident has a voice in Washington.

Too much is at stake in this election to wait. From lowering healthcare costs to protecting our environment, we need action now. I will get to work the moment I’m elected because our communities cannot afford delay.

My deepest prayers are with Cindy and the entire McCain family during this time. Wishing her a very speedy recovery!

Eli Crane is focused on political stunts while our communities face real challenges. I’ll work across party lines to deliver solutions on healthcare, jobs, and infrastructure. It’s time to put people over politics.

This district is home to breathtaking landscapes and natural resources that we must protect. I will fight to safeguard Arizona’s environment for future generations while creating opportunities for sustainable growth.
